Week one of summer vacation is officially over. This week the kids were in soccer camp. What a hot, yucky week to be running around a field for hours.

Yes, I am one of those people who complain about the crazy heat. I am also one of those people who complain when it is colder than minus 10 with the windchill. Here are my perimeters - I am OK from -10 thought 30 degrees Celsius. That is a 40 degree spread. Isn't that enough?

This is the weird thing about Toronto. We had friends visit from Dubai who said that our 35 degrees is harder to deal with than their 45 degrees. We've also had cousins from up north say that our minus 12 is worse than their minus 30. Really?

So there really is something about our weather in Toronto that makes the cold feel colder and the hot feel yuckier. It isn't just me complaining!

And a big thank you to Toronto Hydro. We had not one, but TWO power outages this week lasting for over 4 hours each.

The kids are great. This week they are not in camp so that I can sleep in without rushing around to make snacks and lunches. This doesn't mean that I get to relax. There is still soccer, hockey and lacrosse.
